People considered them “evil” because after they decide on a particular API, they stick with it and ignore the rest of the world because it wasn’t their standard (because they believe the world revolves around them and well…it did for awhile). A perfect example is VML.

How does that tie into apple? I think only time will tell.

Couldn’t disagree more. What standards are Apple breaking? There are no standards for these features yet. They have proposed these as standards, and have implemented them properly with the -webkit prefix. They’ve done exactly what a browser vendor is supposed to do when introducing new features.

Couldn’t agree more. M$ is killed for breaking standards but when Apple does it, it’s a ‘step forward’.

Is that strange? Years ago as MS was introucing own tags into the html standard to help his own appz to work – it was most evil. Today apple introduces all kinds off stuff they need to be hipp and slightly forces the other browser devs to adapt.
